When transferring waypoints from Lowrance to Humminbird, how accurate will they be? If I have boat lanes marked with they be safe?

A waypoint is a place on the Earth that is located by GPS----ANY GPS.
Depending on which model Humminbird, the procedure to load Lowrance data to it can be different.
Humminbird Helix units need the data to be in a MATRIX folder to load them. HumminbirdPC will make that file.
Humminbird SOLIX will load the Lowrance data directly.
The Icons may not transfer the same, but the co-ordinates will be the same if the format is the same.
Default for Humminbird waypoints is DD.MM.MMM. When you export use that format or change the Humminbird unit format to match the Lowrance format.
How you export the data from the Lowrance makes a difference also. Use GPX or a usr4 or usr5 format.
Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 10 G3, Helix 15 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N,
Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL
